Acquisition of a Simultaneous Thermal Analysis-Mass Spectrometry System for Materials Research

9626296杨与此奖项，伊利诺伊大学将获得一个同时热分析质谱系统的废气分析。 该系统具有最先进的气体取样撇渣器，可在高温下运行，并防止分析前挥发物冷凝。 样品可以在真空或各种惰性或腐蚀性气体中在高达2000 ℃的温度下进行研究。 该设备将用于研究各种材料，包括：活性炭的形成和再生，NOx还原催化剂，气溶胶的表征，新型水泥-聚合物复合材料（有机水泥）的形成，含水矿物，通过无机聚合物热解合成陶瓷，以及高温相图的开发。 该仪器将位于伊利诺伊大学的所有研究人员以及其他机构的科学家都可以使用的中央设施中。 该系统将为材料的热分析提供独特的国家资源。 ***

9626296 Young With this award, the University of Illinois will acquire a simultaneous thermal analysis-mass spectrometry system for effluent gas analysis. The system features a state-of-the art gas-sampling skimmer, that operates at high temperatures and prevents condensation of volatiles prior to analysis. Samples can be studied up to 2000 C either under vacuum or in a variety of inert or corrosive gases. The equipment will be used to study a wide variety of materials including: formation and regeneration of activated carbons, catalysts for NOx reduction, characterization of aerosols, formation of novel cement-polymer composites (organo cements), hydrous minerals, synthesis of ceramics through pyrolysis of inorganic polymers, and development of high temperature phase diagrams. The instrument will be located in a central facility available to all researchers at the University of Illinois, as well as scientists from other institutions. The system will provide a unique national resource for thermal analysis of materials. ***
